ANGEL IS ON DATE

This was a wonderful week- we had so many miracles!


Tuesday we taught the restoration to Angel and it went so well! He lives with his aunt and uncle and his uncle is a strong catholic. When we explained the restoration, Angel said, "So one of those not true churches is the catholic church!" And Elder Moye and I were like uhhhh.... and Tim his uncle just laughs. They made some jokes and it was funny but at the end Angel said he wants to be a part of our church. So this Sunday we invited him to be baptized and he accepted so he will be baptized February 4th! 


We have also had so many miracles with people that are so curious. We have people coming to us now. I know it's all because we have promised the Lord we are ready to teach people that are ready to hear from us.  Ever since we prayed about that with a true desire, we have been able to meet so many people.


We also had an exchange on Wednesday. I was with the Zone Leader Elder Davenport and we decided that we wanted to try just as hard as Elder Burt and I did a few weeks ago. The craziest things happened!  We got 12 return appointments and 3 that were new people to be taught! That's soooo good for 1 day! One of those people said he dreamed that he needed to learn more about God. Three days later he saw us and knew he had to talk to us. I had a feeling that we needed to knock that specific house and now he is being taught and is doing really well!


Love you all and thank you for the support!

Supreme Lessons.

We had an amazing week!  We had an awesome lesson with Angel about commandments and different things like that and he was super into it. We also asked him how he was feeling about baptism and he said he was super excited. But he also said he was nervous for one thing....he's scared to get his hair wet. He gave us a little scare but it was pretty funny. We also had a lesson with Mario and Omar and they are so awesome! We talked about prayer and the spirit and they had so many questions-it was great! At the end Mario told us that his wife needs to hear all this (they care for someone and can't leave at the same time) and gave us her number to reach out and that has gone great as well. We also got to make papusas with them which were delicious!!! We had an exchange with our Zone Leaders this week and that went great. It was super fun to see them again! This last Saturday was 2 years since my friend Dallin passed away and that was hard to think of, but it is helpful to know the won...

Temple!!!!

We had 3 temple trips this week!!! We worked two shifts for the open house of the Virginia Richmond Temple. The first started on Wednesday evening and it was amazing. I just loved feeling the spirit there. We were able to take some older people in wheelchairs through, it was a blessing. They are amazing and have great testimonies. Thursday morning Elder Moye and I got to the temple early and we were able to go inside when no one else was there and take a tour. We then got to sit in the Celestial room alone in a silent temple! What a miracle it was. I am so grateful for that experience. Sorry this email is a quick one I don't have much time. Saturday morning we got a text from Brenda (Angel's aunt) saying that they could go to the temple! It was the only day they could go! Another temple miracle. We had an amazing time with them and Brenda told us afterwards that she had to stop herself from crying before she walked into every room! Love, Elder Owens Pictures

Ummm EARTHQUAKE!!

The mtc is wonderful! I am so busy all the time and it's awesome to be busy but I'm so tired! It's been a wonderful p-day, so nice to relax. I have been so surprised with the love that all the workers have for the Missionaries.  A lot of them like to mess around but even with that they are still so happy!  I met these two natives and it was super cool to talk to them in Spanish but I realized I'm not doing as good as I thought lol. It was super cool to meet them though.  Elder Hugo Montoya from the 70 came and spoke to us yesterday. At the end of his wonderful lesson, he let us all know he will be speaking in the first session of conference I believe. After he told us that he shook everyone's hand and I was one of the lasts so I shook his hand, grabbed his shoulder and said,"I hope we can all make you proud". So I am definitely going to be in his talk so be ready for that. Alright now for the earthquake. It's so crazy that this happened. September 19th...
